Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In 1922, Mahatma Gandhi terminated the Non-Cooperation Movement following the Chauri-Chaura incident. This event involved a violent clash between protestors and police, which led to a police station being burned and 22 officers killed. Gandhi ceased the movement, believing its objectives were incompatible with violence, and re-emphasized non-violence as a core principle of his Satyagraha philosophy.
